  Look at it this way. Turbulence is an observable phenomenon that you may have experienced while riding an airplane. Modern fluid dynamics cannot adequately explain turbulence. Richard Feynman has described turbulence as the most important unsolved problem in classical physics.[1] We don’t dismiss fluid dynamics because turbulence is ill-defined, and we also don’t deny that turbulence exists just because we lack a thorough mathematical understanding of it. This is analogous to psychology/psychiatry and mental illnesses. If we had magical brain oscilloscopes that we could hook up to visualize every mental disorder, we’d use them. Until those exist, we must rely on qualitative and statistical approaches to provide treatment. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence

  I think it shows these fields remains more art than science.
